Who could have guessed siding with nazis would make you unpopular?
REPUBLICANS are Questioning whether or Not TRUMP is a Good Leader? Even MORE reason to do EVERYTHING he Wants from Us!
-LITERALLY Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is best positioned to win Latinos.
US killed 1m Iraqis through sanctions with great pride. Seems to be plan for Iran, but also for Cuba. Venezuelan community in US is pro fascist supporters, but Rubio, Viceroy of Venezuela, is supporting the same regime that the US has spent 20 years demonizing with election rigging. He’s tainted with the same Stephen Miller/Trump/DHS hatred of “rapist latino pet eater” blanket racism.
Rubio is warmongering pure demonism Israel supremacist. Defeat in fighting Israel’s war on Iran is already unfavorably impossible to recover from, for future Israel subservient evil. Any tolerance of Hegseth/administration bankrupting the US into collapse will look bad on him, but he’s paid by Israel to do just that.
Meanwhile, normal Americans…
Also Americans…
A lot of people have forgotten in the craziness, but rational, non-NRA-involved gun control is high on the list of the average people’s minds, and has been a political issue in the US since Reconstruction. These days, no one wants to get gunned down at the store or have their kids threatened by school shooters.
Now that we have some actual progressives, a blue wave, and a neutered NRA, it’s possible.
Gun control loses national elections. Stop it.
Ha, no. Enjoy my letter, text is above. They’re both going out tomorrow.
You lose. Congratulations on the own-goal.
Please get the fascists out of office before you disarm the populace.
Please get the fascists out of office before you disarm the populace.
We’re already doing that. Did you miss the news or just not like it?
And it’s not fascists getting shot, it’s everyone else. We need reasonable gun legislation.
And you know what? Because you personally decided to write this lame ass comment, I will match you by writing my own new Congressional rep and senator to demand that they add sane gun control to their agenda.
It’s time. Shoot your own goddamn fascists, the ballot box is working for us.
EDITED to add: of course the opposition to gun control comes from a two-hour old account. Blocked.
Thank you for the downvotes, because they motivated me to crank out the text so I can post it.
How do you like this? Because it’s literally going in the mail tomorrow to both my senator and congressman, thanks to you:
Dear Congressman-elect [new guy],
John Adams once said that the American Revolution did not take place during the Revolutionary War, but in the years that preceded it, in the minds and hearts of the people. Something similar is happening again, and has now brought you into the halls of power to speak for us. The people have spoken. There must be change.
Which is why I write to you now by quoting the Founders. They were well aware of the dangers of a demagogue, and their fears have been largely realized over the last ten years as we have watched our democracy teeter on the brink of collapse, drawn away from the necessary individual engagement in the business of this country via fear and propaganda.
One of the causes of that fear is the reality that every day, lack of reasonable gun control results in bodies shattered, blood shed, and lives destroyed in this country. Children have to go to school in fear, and their parents send them in fear. Whether it’s a shopping mall in Texas or an exclusive fête at the Washington Hilton in DC, no one is free of the fear of the stochastic terrorism that unregulated gun ownership and distribution is wreaking in our land.
That is why I approach you not with statistics, nor policy points, but with the bare fact that fear makes a populace easier to control: I believe this is the sole reason why for the last forty-plus years, as we now know the current subversion of democracy has been in the planning, Republicans have across the board steadfastly blocked even the slightest move toward reining in the out-of-control gun violence in our land.
I won’t tell you what I think is best, because at this point any legislation is better than nothing: you know what to do. There is a great deal of other work to do, but on gun control you already have the research, countless rejected bills that have already been written to draw from, countless experts on the subject who will tell you whatever you need to know, and for the first time in fifty years, a neutered NRA and full cooperation from the country itself. You already have everything you need.
So I ask you, as a citizen and a father yourself: add gun control to your agenda. A land of fear is no longer free.
Thank you for listening. I wish you the very best in your new position, and if I can be of any assistance, please feel free to call upon me.
Sincerely,
[Chunk McHorkle]
Congratulations on the own-goal, haters.
“You don’t need a gun, the government will protect you” sounds pretty damn shitty when you look at the current government.
Nobody with a gun did anything about fascism.
Luigi did.
Ha ha, what fucking world are you living in that you think this is the end of it? Jesus Christ.
Ya think? When your own vp who is owned by the billionaires goes against you, it’s not looking good.
The next few weeks might be even more interesting then after the new Congress takes over. Because there are some 50-ish Republicans in the House (and another handful in the Senate) who are short-timers now, and probably blame their impending lapse in employment directly on Trump’s war. And bunch of others who just barely held on to their jobs.
Massie is going to move to impeach Hegseth over the war next week, and it’s probably gonna pass. We’ll have to see what Thune does with it in the Senate, he might still have his Senate gig but has to give up the majority to Chuck, and he knows its because of the war. He might go ahead and let them vote Hegseth out. Nobody likes Hegseth anyway. He’s been blocking promotions of anyone who isn’t white and male, and many of these same Senators understand how mind-numbingly stupid that is. A new SecDef can unblock them (at least for the ones who haven’t quit already.) I think if these articles reached the Senate over the summer he would have been gone then, the election just solidifies how much they all hate him.
Then, the key battle will be who replaces him. Republicans would be motivated to pick a replacement before they give up control to Chuck. If Trump’s “grip on the party” really is slipping, then Thune and Mitch will sit down wih Trump and give him a list of establishment picks to choose from, and tell him that if he picks anyone else, they won’t confirm them and he will have to deal with Chuckles. However, if he appoints another yoyo, and that gets confirmed, we will know that Senate Republicans lost their spine along with their majority.

My guess is that they’ll rush to do something epically stupid before that happens, like blitzkrieging Tehran so that they can claim a victory
With any luck, the military leaders that are left under him realize he’s on the chopping block, too, and prevent the worst from happening. I bet they can’t just decline lawful orders, but they can slow-roll them until he is out.
I have never been in the military, but I think it must chafe even the most trigger-happy military leaders to be taking orders from such a dumbass, who couldn’t get past Major when he served
Could HeiMiller be impeached the same way?
Probably not. The Constitution says “all Civil officers of the United States”, but traditionally that has been interpreted as a limitation to Senate-confirmed positions like judges and cabinet officials. I certainly wouldn’t try it while this SCOTUS is in place.
The Senate Republicans are going to pick a leader on Tuesday, November 10. John Thune actively wants it, and as of the date of that article has no challengers. Expect his MAGA priorities to overcome any inclination he has to work across the aisle, though he’s not above opposing Trump.
Mexican soap opera levels of pettiness, just waiting for the slapping, screaming, and for someone to get push down some stairs.
People used to challenge each other to duels in Congress.
Like this?
Yes!
So what’s next? They gonna try to get people to clap for Jeb again? The only reason Trump was successful in the first place was because basically everyone hates everything the Republicans stand for. The only reason we keep forgetting that is because the Democratic party’s leadership is so incredibly awful.
I think once they had the pure china white of donnie they ain’t going back to some methadone stuff like Jeb.
They are probably going to go for someone even worse.
mahhh, see Stephen Miller’s bit about the GOP being loyal or Trump will destroy them :)
This is some terrible website here
Works great with noscript, though. Noscript gives me a fairly distraction-free article, black text on white background, just broken up by some pictures.
Not doubting your experience. Just hoping more people will start using noscript.
Chancellor Miller will make a few calls, and they’ll all line up to smell Trump’s reeking berder poo.
No, no - Chancellor Miller will make a few calls, and they’ll distance themselves from little t and promote someone more competent to ramp up the fascism.
The ship has been going down and the rats have already been starting to leave. Now watch the rest gtfo quickly as she takes her final plunge.
I’m just wondering what teabagger 2.0 will be called.
